The STS (and soon JATS) Legend Element

Balisage 2024 included a short-subject “Open Microphone” session, during which conference attendees were invited give 2-10 minute presentations on any topic relevant to the conference, including specification updates, new tool announcements, and demonstrations. This short presentation showcased the NISO STS <legend> element, for use in tables, chemical formulae, charts, and related objects. Similar elements in other schemas were discussed, with examples highlighting the complexity of tagging legends. An update on JATS’ inclusion of the STS <legend> element, with modifications to the STS model followed.

Abstract

Balisage 2024 included a short-subject “Open Microphone” session, during which conference attendees were invited give 2-10 minute presentations on any topic relevant to the conference, including specification updates, new tool announcements, and demonstrations. This short presentation showcased the NISO STS <legend> element, for use in tables, chemical formulae, charts, and related objects. Similar elements in other schemas were discussed, with examples highlighting the complexity of tagging legends. An update on JATS’ inclusion of the STS <legend> element, with modifications to the STS model followed.
